Training Mode on the PIEPS PRO BT and POWDER BT Transceivers
Bluetooth technology in the PRO BT and POWDER BT transceivers works in conjunction with a smartphone app developed by PIEPS to offer a training mode that can help users become more capable searchers with practice.
How the PIEPS Training Mode Works
There are two main benefits—an interactive Training Mode and Practical Knowledge exercises.
The Practical Knowledge section consists of a series of exercises that allow the user to practice and better understand how all transceivers work—things like understanding field lines, performing a fine search, marking and how to use the group check function. The Practical Knowledge section also covers other fundamental avalanche rescue techniques such as probing and shovelling.
Just remember, the exercises don’t replace a certified avalanche course!
The Training Mode allows the user to set up a wide variety of practice searches with remote control of the transceiver’s transmitting antenna orientation and the ability to turn it on or off. An unlimited number of PIEPS Bluetooth capable transceivers can be used to create practice scenarios ranging from simple and straightforward to incredibly complex.
